Artifacts are objects found throughout RWBY: Grimm Eclipse that can be collected for Professor Oobleck. They are worth 100 Experience a piece and take the form of sparkling chess pieces. A soft chiming sound is heard when near an artifact.

Locations[]

Some of these artifacts aren't available on every run through, as some of them require going another route. Chapter 3 and Chapter 8 have alternative routes that is up to RNG with an artifact on each path, and Chapter 5 has the player choose whether to take the right or the left path at the start, with an artifact per path. Chapter 2 has alternate paths that is up to RNG, but all 4 artifacts can be collected regardless of the path given.

Trivia[]

  • The artifacts resemble the relics used to determine teams in Volume 1 of the show.

  • Also in Chapter 5, completing the platforming puzzle on the right path and picking up the artifact will unlock the 'Cleverly Disguised Jumping Puzzle' secret achievement.
  • Picking up 10 artifacts in one Campaign playthrough/session will unlock the 'It Belongs in a Museum' achievement.
  • Picking up 30 or more artifacts in one Campaign playthrough/session will cause an addition after the credits. When the credits have stopped rolling, 'THE END... or is it?' appears as Dr. Merlot begins to laugh, as opposed to merely 'THE END'.
